"Stay away" Bad ManagementInternational export agent - Manhattan Beach, CAI cant tell you how bad of an experience it was working with this intl. department at Skechers, regular agents were pretty good people but from day 1 very awkward experience.Hired through n agency I received start date ,I show up management didn't know I was suppose to be there, Marisa the director, told me "well we didn't know you would be here today so we will accommodate you." They were not friendly, even though during the interview they claimed the work environment was a good one as they used " if you stay, the company will take care of you" as selling point , it should have been a red flag from the get go.They throw 3 ring binder and told me to read it , no training, just read it, then they throw me to agents who are clearly busy with work so management can avoid training, when and if I asked the supervisor (Nancy) about training I either got look of why are you asking with a condisending tone with hints of criticism and judgement. I get into almost a month and the supervisor is avoiding me ,only speaking with me to point out things I did wrong otherwise wouldn't speak to me or give me the time, Marisa the director was ok at 1st but one day became unhinged over an email and basically yelled at me to the point I called my the agency and asked if they considered hiring me permanently because from a day to day I was walking on eggshells, and already was considering other opportunities. it didn't matter if I was new, they wanted me know it all, stay quiet, and don't speak to them unless spoken too was the overall vibe I got from Nancy and Marisa.. I would even say good morning or provide any polite gesture and I got a look like I was weird when I was showing good manners or politeness . Other agents also confirmed this was how they treated people because they didn't know how to communicate properly, so if your own people acknowledge management has not worked well with other candidates before me and are already treating me poorly 2 months in, imagine 1 year, but funny enough I get a call on a Saturday from my agency telling me they cancelled my contract, and no one knew why, even though I was in office that Friday and management could have spoken with me but no , I wasn't worth speaking too. This was a clear example of how toxic the environment was and they couldn't get through training a new hire, there were 2 or 3 people from what I was told that also experienced this behavior as well, before you work in this department with any experience just know it doesn't apply, they used a outdated system and still print, where other company's are paperless have computerized training , and have better systems un place, they do not make an effort for hired candidates to be trained properly altogether. Out of them all, 1 manger was a respectful guy, and I won't mention his name out of respect but I hope he replaces the current director one day and restructures the training process for new candidates, and replaces the Crap supervisor with someone who has people skills.
